Guided Tour to know the trades of Oaxaca

One of the objectives of this tour is to show you part of the spirit of Oaxaca through the most classic crafts of this city. With this perspective we will visit the artisans and their workshops to know the intimacy of their crafts. Their history, their productions and their current problems. We will also stroll through the beautiful and bohemian neighborhood of Xochimilco and the wonderful city of Oaxaca. Walking through the most colorful and emblematic streets.

We will meet in front of the church of Xochimilco. Here we will stop for a couple of minutes to introduce ourselves and talk a little about the ancient and contemporary history of the Xochimilco neighborhood.

We will begin by exploring the work of the artisan weavers in the traditional neighborhood of Xochimilco, one of the most beautiful and representative areas of the city, immersing ourselves in the daily work of the loom workshop.

We will then walk through the streets of this neighborhood to reach a small artisan chocolate producer's house, where we will learn about the elaboration of this exquisite product and taste some varieties, enjoying its texture and captivating aroma.

We will also visit one of the oldest workshops that still work with tinplate and other metal crafts. In the workshop we will learn about the process to create sculptures and crafts that have been exhibited all over the world.

We will walk through the neighborhood to observe its beautiful architecture, colorful houses and murals. In addition to contemplate the beautiful construction of the old aqueduct, which dates from the eighteenth century.

We leave Xochimilco behind to enter the center of the city since our next destination is one of the most emblematic markets of the city. So while walking we can, on the one hand, contrast the style, beauty and atmosphere of the historic center and the neighborhood of Xochimilco and, on the other hand, talk about the history, traditions, and bohemian life of this city.

Inside the Benito Juárez market, we will explore its main areas. Walking inside the market will be the perfect excuse for you to try the traditional "nieves", the famous "chapulines" or have a "tejate", our traditional pre-Hispanic cocoa-based drink.
